We propose a testing scheme based on left-and-right-regular sparse-graph codes and a simple iterative decoder. We show that for any arbitrarily small $\\epsilon>0$ our scheme requires only $m=c_\\epsilon K\\log \\frac{c_1N}{K}$ tests to recover $(1-\\epsilon)$ fraction of the defective items with high probability (w.h.p) i.e., with probability approaching $1$ asymptotically in $N$ and $K$, where the value of constants $c_\\epsilon$ and $\\ell$ are a function of the desired erro"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1701.07477","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
